Launched during the World Summit on the Information Society Forum in June 2017 the Digital Skills Campaign<\/strong><\/a> recognizes that investing in youth by developing their digital skills is a win-win strategy. The initiative which is part of the Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth<\/strong> is led by ITU and ILO. The campaign addresses the skills gap by encouraging partners to make commitments to invest in digital skills development for young people. This can increase young people’s employability and innovation capabilities, contributing to other sectors of the digital economy.

Thanks to the commitments of a number of partners including Microsoft, HP Foundation<\/strong> and Save the Children<\/strong>, over 23 million youth<\/strong> have been equipped with digital skills since 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
